Too short

Today I read this quote:
" Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets....so love the people that treat you right and forget the ones that don't. And believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. Nobody said it would be easy..they just promised it would be worth it"

Many days I go by wishing for something that is apart of tomorrow, instead of identifying what was here today and missing yesterday. There are always checklists of things to get done, deadlines in the future.. etc. The list can go on for pages. Choose to live for this day...

I think the word I am searching for the state of being I am desiring is "Contentment" Understanding I am who I am, I am where I am, and I am going where God has planned for me to go. Simple. Right?

The Lord's Patience = Salvation

2 Peter 3:15-18

¹⁵ and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, ¹⁶ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. ¹⁷ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, ¹⁸ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.


“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” 2 Timothy 1:9
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,^[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds," James 1:2

I think she says it all... make me smile from the inside out...you have my heart.

Wait Patiently

If you know me the word wait and definitely patiently doesn't always coexist. I am one that strives and seeks after every dream and ambition I posses. Which makes me come to realize God's complete plan in helping me identify and strengthen this area. Okay so its seriously not so fun. BUT I am confident in him, no so much my ability but his.

For about a week and a half I find myself with awful sleep patterns. Growing up people around me would state that they couldn't sleep, they would wake up etc... I couldn't grasp that... I have the comfy bed, one that lying down for a few minutes only allows me to fall into deep sleep :)... Not so much the case anymore. 

I guess you could say my mind races. I have a lack of confidence in not being in complete control of my future. So i sit and put together pieces that possibly could equal an outcome. Which leads to this complete stress... aka I believe the reason I am not sleeping..and I keep hearing."WAIT PATIENTLY"

Some motivation for myself....

"Before you ACT,  Listen. Before you REACT, think. Before you SPEND, earn. Before you CRITICIZE, wait. Before you PRAY, forgive. Before you quit, Try." - Ernest Hemingway.

" The Longer you wait for something the more you appreciate it when you get it, Because anything worth having is definitely something worth waiting.

  while I wait...
